I am familiar witht he ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers across the country, in particluar, the one in Overland Park, KS. They are a "one stop" implant center. The doctors there are at the top of their field, and an advantage is that you have all of the specialists that will be working with you in the same place. That would have to make communication easier between doctors. They usually offer seminars for patients and I think, offer free consultations, which is always worthwhile.

If you chose to go the other way, some Prosthodontists will place and restore the implants themselves. In other cases, an Oral Surgeon or Periodontist will place the implant and a Prosthodontist or General Dentist restores it. Fees can vary quite a bit from office to office and with the different options for restorative materials. Some offer free consultations, for others, they charge a fee that might be applied to any future treatment in some cases.

The first step is to schedule a few consultations with different providers, which it sounds like you've already done.

The most important factors when deciding which practitioner to work with::.1. You should feel comfortable asking your doctor any questions so that you have a good understanding of the procedure itself, healing time and long-terem outcome, and possible complications. Write down a list of questions and take them with you to the consultation.

2. Ask about the experience of the practitioner. How many similiar procedures have they completed? Have they had any major complications with any cases? Ask to see photos if possible.

3..Figure out if it works out better for your schedule, to go to a "one stop" provider or to separate providers for the placement and the restoration of the implants.

4. Follow your instincts. If you feel rushed, didn't get direct answers to your questions, didn't communicate well or had any other negative feelings, this probably isn't the doctor for you.

5. Consider insurance coverage and financing options. If your dental plan covers implants and it is important to you to use a preferred provider, you will want to check your list. Many times, insurance does not cover implants, or at least not all of the steps. You may want to inquire about payment and financing options.

I hope this at least helps you feel a little less confused and a little more directed. Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of further help.Sincerely,Beth L. Gehring,DDS, PC816 NW VesperBlue Springs, Mo 64015docbeth93@gmail.com

As a Dentist, I am sorry to hear about your denture nightmare and I know how frustrating that can be. I am surprised that your doctor wasn't willing to work with you on some type of solution. A few options would be either remaking the dentures once more, or offering to return some of the money and have you return the dentures. Unfortunately, the doctor has put in a lot of their time and lab expenses, but the patient also has time and money invested. You might try sending a letter re-explaining the problems you hand and offering an acceptible and fair solution. Be sure to keep a copy of it and any correspondence you receive from the Dental Office. In the event that you don't get anywhere, you have documentation of the problem.

At any point in the process, did they have you sign something saying you were happy with the denture set up? Some practitioners will document the patient's acceptance at the try-in appointment, before the denture is processed. At that time, changes in tooth arrangement, size and color can be made with minimal lab expense.

If the letter doesn't get you anywhere, you might try going to the governing body of the dental profession in your area. I am a dentist in Blue Springs, Missouri, USA. Here, we have the Missouri Dental Board (or the Dental Division of the Missouri Department of Professional Registration.) This is the entity that licenses us to perform our professional duties in our state. They often have a process to file complaints against a provider if you were unable to resolve the problem yourself. After your complaint is received, they will contact the doctor to get their side of the story, then try to mediate a solution between the two parties.

As far as a new set of dentures, you might seek out the services of a Prosthodontist (specializes in dentures and removable appliances - extra training and certification beyond general dentistry) or go to a local dental school. The students are supervised and checked off at each step by professionals. Most dental schools also treat patients through their faculty practices, and you can often get the services of a specialist at a lower price.

I hope this information is helpful to your situation, and I wish you well.

Cosmetic Dentistry reviews in Miami Beach

and his staff to professional and extremely helpful. I have had quite a bit of dental work done over the past year and a half and am grateful to have found them.

The front desk staff is helpful and always friendly. I find Dr.

to be informative and great at giving options when ...More there is a decision to be made.

On this visit he recommended me to see another dentist for some specific work, and this impressed me. He always gives me options/alternatives when they exist so I can make the best decision for myself and what I can afford. He explains what he is doing and what is happening as he does the work and I appreciate this. The assistants are all friendly, helpful and attentive.

I was informed about both veneers and bonding and I chose bonding at this time as I have other work to be done and will consider the veneers on my front teeth at a later date.

I am happy to have found

This dental facility was very clean and professionally decorated. This office felt like I walked I to a spa! The receptionist was extremely nice and very helpful. The wait time was less than 10 minutes. The X-rays and time before the dentist came in the room was quick. Their chairs are amazing, so comfortable and got a chair massage while having my ...More teeth examined and cleaned!! I would highly recommend this dentist and practice. The actually dentist deep cleaned and examined my teeth himself, his assistant finished up, WOW I was impressed! He took his time and examined every tooth and explained what condition each tooth was in. We came up with a plan together. I have found a dentist and dental practice I trust and this is my and my family's new dentist!!”

Several days after I had given up, a package arrived. I like the product but it is not outstanding.
Why did they want to set up the appointments to call me if they didn't call? What is the point of that?”

My visit to Dr.

went very well. I had to wait a few minutes for my appointment but the receptionist let me know there would be a short delay. I appreciated the communication. The hygienist was very likable and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. Dr.

is ...More very professional and thorough. He took time to draw attention to an issue he noted and clearly explained what our next steps would be. I really appreciated his explanation and the extra time he took checking my teeth.

Overall my visit was excellent. I have no reservations whatsoever recommending the team at

“

tooth crown crack--and it turned out from my preliminary the support staff is very friendly and professional. X-rays are done quickly and displayed right in the treatment room instantaneously. have had dentists over many decades, and this is the first one who ever administered painless injections!! His method is to soak your gum tissues in surface ...More anesthetic first and then to administer the injection very slowly in order that any tissues hit by the need are already pain free. if you are a coward, i recommend this office to you. give them an A+++ The dentist is totally accessible to questions and is not the least bit arrogant or flippant. ”

I have been coming to MDG since the mid 1980's. They are friendly, professional experts, and I have recommended them to many people over the years. Dr.

is the best dentist I have worked with. She takes the time to discuss any concerns I have, and has given me great advice over the years with regard to my dental health.”
